Out and About in Saigon

Hi All,

We have seen lots of scooters and motorbikes on this trip but nothing like Saigon.

This city of 10 million people has 7 million scooters. At red lights the scooters filter up through the cars so that when the light changes, about 50 scooters race across the intersection.

To get a taste of local life, we all took a local transit bus across town to a market.

All this stuff packed into an old warehouse.

Today is a Buddhist prayer day so when we visited a 200 year old neighborhood temple the incense smoke was thick.

We are used to seeing 1/8" thick incense sticks. Many of these were 3 to 4" in diameter

The fabric section of the market had miles of ornate fabrics.

Love,
